Rose plant named Conangel

ABSTRACT

A new climbing sport of the floribunda variety &#34;Angel Face&#34;, producing canes 6 to 9 feet in length.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of roseplant of the climbing floribunda class, which originated as a sport ofthe variety, "Angel Face" (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,792).

The new variety was discovered by me at my nursery in McFarland, Calif.,in a cultivated area under controlled growing conditions. My attentionwas drawn to a plant that was presumed to be the variety, "Angel Face,"but which exhibited definite climbing characteristics in that itproduced canes which were 6 to 9 feet in length.

Asexual reproduction of this new variety by budding, under mysupervision, at McFarland, Calif. has established that the climbinghabit comes true to form and is transmissible and established throughsucceeding asexual propagations. The varietal denomination of the newvariety is "Conangel".

The accompanying drawing shows a specimen plant of the new variety whichis illustrative of the typical climbing habit of growth and the bloomsproduced.

In view of the fact that the new variety is distinguished from itsparent only by its climbing habit of growth, it is unnecessary todescribe the new variety in detail, since it conforms substantially tothe detailed description appearing in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,792 datedJan. 23, 1968, to which reference may be made and the content of whichis specifically incorporated herein by reference.

I claim:
 1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the climbingfloribunda class, substantially as shown and described, which is a sportof the variety "Angel Face" (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,792) characterizedparticularly by its climbing habit of growth.
